Bab 524: I will protect you

"So because I turn my eyes away for a second, you forget the vow you made with me to protect people?" Sumire immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Well uh-" Yuhi had no excuse and kept his head low.

Sumire chuckled. "Well I understand how you feel, even I had times where I wanted to escape from all this bloodshed and live a normal life. I said back then that we would meet as normal people right?"

"You did."

"But after I said those words I regretted it because I knew it was not possible. For the two of us to meet as normal people, we would both have to leave the underworld behind. You pulled away and quit. But I couldn't do it. Even when I started to train seriously for my debut I was still actively involved in the underworld. I was happy to see you managed to escape, but then I realized. This world of bloodshed that I wanted to escape from has helped save me too."

"You weighed out the benefits." Yuhi guessed.
